The group ran back into the room where Lan and Mei had fought. Tyrell had told them that he knew the code to open the door and go straight to where the rest of Dark Aero was. The door had been bolted, but it was operated by a computer with a pass code lock.

Tyrell ran over to the door, a small metal box was on the wall beside the door. Lan hadn't noticed it before, but Tyrell lifted the lid of the box and the group saw that there was a number pad there. Tyrell smiled and reached out.

1…6…7…7…4…2…4…

1…1 Leader of Dark Aero

6…6 Six members of Dark Aero

7…7 Crystals

7…7 Heroes

4…4 Countries of the world

2…2 Traitors

4…4 Years the Dark Aero Company existed

The door slowly slid open, revealing a hallway of black tile and black brick. All the other halls of the complex where made of white, but this one was black as night.

Slowly the group moved forward into the hall. The hall was long, a large metal door with the Dark Aero symbol on it sat at the end of the hall. Seven lights surrounded the door, each one the color of each crystal.

The group walked toward the door, but Lan then moved in front of them and stopped.

"What is it?" Maylu asked.

"…Behind this door is Sir Kane, Abbadon, and Ambika. They have Dr. Hikari. All three members of Dark Aero are ready to fight to the death to defend the laser, and destroy the planet. Once we go through this door…there's no going back."

Tyrell stepped forward. "Don't worry. Demonman and I will cut them all down if we have too, right Demonman?"

Maylu smiled. "Roll and I aren't good at fighting…but we can heal, so we'll do what we can."

Zack looked at his PET. "Crain is good at using swords, and he's really fast. I think we can handle ourselves."

Chaud snickered. "There's never been an opponent would could outrun Protoman and I."

Lucia and Mei giggled. "Come on Lan, you know Suki and I are good at fighting from afar."

"Yeah…And Desira and I can do a little bit of fighting."

Lan smiled then turned to the door behind him.

"Then let's go…"

Slowly the doors slid apart and the group walked inside. They stood on a balcony looked over a busy factory floor. A catwalk connected the balcony they stood on to another balcony on the other side of the room.

Standing on the catwalk, directly in the center, was Abbadon. He had a dark grin on his face as he saw the group enter the room. Behind him stood two guards with their guns drawn, and farther behind him was Reaino, the announcer from the tournament.

Abbadon was wearing his black suit, but Reaino had changed clothes. He wore a white suit that as it went down his body slowly changed to red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and black by the time his pants reached his shoes. He looked like a standing rainbow, only the colors were dim and faded into one another.

"So…You've made it…Welcome to the Factory. This area of our building contains all the equipment we use to generate our own power. Thanks to making our own power we don't need to work with the local energy companies. And this allows us to use whatever energy we want…"

Lan scowled and stepped out onto the catwalk.

"And what energy is that?"

Abbadon smiled. "Nuclear…"

Maylu gasped. "What! Nuclear! Wait…that means…"

Abbadon burst into laughter. "Yes, quite smart aren't you. As you can see we are standing on a catwalk over the nuclear reactor. At the opposite end of this catwalk is the door to an elevator that leads to the roof of the factory. From the roof you can make your way across a bridge to reach to top of the Central Tower. But what you should worry about Lan, is the reactor."

"And why should I worry about that?"

"Simple…Reaino here has a remote that he can use to raise the heat levels in the reactor. If he raises it high enough we, and this entire building, will be disintegrated by the power of a nuclear blast, but the Central Tower will remain untouched."

Lan smiled. "You wouldn't blow yourselves up to kill me."

"No…try me." Abbadon said stepping forward.

Lan cursed and turned to his friends. "Stay on this side of the catwalk! If Reaino tries anything run!"

"NO!" Maylu yelled, trying to run out on the catwalk. Chaud and Zack grabbed her and pulled her back.

Abbadon laughed and motioned to a guard. The guard bowed and removed a sword from his side, handing it to Abbadon. Abbadon then handed the sword to Lan. Lan took it and smiled.

The sword was real, made of iron and steel, and quite heavy.

"So it's a sword fight, eh?"

"Indeed." Abbadon said with a smile. He reached to his side and removed his own sword. It was made of some metal, Lan couldn't tell what, and painted white.

"Let us begin." Abbadon said with a bow.

Suddenly Abbadon surged forward; Lan lashed out with his sword and blocked the blow. But Lan had never used a sword before, and stumbled toward the railing. Abbadon spun back around and sliced at Lan, who quickly ducked and lashed out with his foot.

Abbadon stumbled and cried out as he brought the sword down with enough force to cut through the railing. He missed, cutting said railing.

Lan flipped the sword in his hands and lashed out with it toward Abbadon's chest. Abbadon grinned and ducked, missing the blow, and raised back up at Lan's side. He lashed out with his fist, and hit Lan on the side of the head.

Lan cried out and fell to the floor. Maylu screamed, breaking through the grip on her by the men, and ran forward to Lan. She fell to her knees and looked at Lan.

Lan was fine, not hurt at all…but he had a plan.

Lan acted like he was hurt.

"Ah…..Maylu…."

Lan winked at Maylu, who gasped.

Maylu saw the look in Lan's eyes. She understood what he was meaning and fell down onto his body while faking to cry.

Abbadon smiled. He moved toward Reaino.

"Alright…they won't stand a chance against us now…lets…AH!"

As Abbadon was talking Maylu had taken the sword from Lan's hand and moved forward, behind Abbadon. Once she had reached right at his back she pushed with full force, the sword into his chest.

The sword had pushed through Abbadon's back and burst out of his chest. Blood was spurting out of the wound, his eyes and mouth wide.

"AH! N-NO! H-HOW!"

Reaino fell back.

"S-Stop! D-Don't hurt me!" He screamed.

Maylu let go of the blade, leaving it in Abbadon's body. Lan stood and the other members of the team ran over to him.

Abbadon fell to his knees. His face contorted in pain and shock.

"I matters not…if….I-I….die….Kane….Iblis will inherit...….Crystals….."

With those last words Abbadon fell to the catwalk floor, dead.

The group moved forward, stopped at his body and bowed, then ran across to the other end of the room.

One last door, one more bridge, and one more Dark Star agent left, then the boss….the Master of Shadow Stars…
